This paper discusses the Multi-Family Water Management Training Program,
initiated in the City of Virginia Beach, Virginia, which represents an innovative
approach to establishing a water conservation ethic within a city's apartment
community. The program is based on two important tenets: business people are
motivated by the financial bottom line; and, people learn best by doing. The
training program emphasizes the costs associated with water use. Attendees are
provided with a two-year consumption history for their respective property. The
consumption history breaks water consumption for their property down to gallons
used per person per day. Then, attendees are provided with information about
city-wide average per capita consumption in the multi-family sector. This
provides attendees with a benchmark with which to compare their own property's
per capita consumption. Armed with this information, attendees now have the
ability to calculate the potential financial savings associated with various
water conservation efforts.
